With nearly 12,000 entries from all 50 states and numerous countries, this is truly an honor.

“Shoplifting Complex” depicts a real crime scene reenacted for a panel of expert guests moderated for a discussion by host James B. Towle. Guests this episode include internationally recognized firearms, tactics, and use of force instructor, Wes Doss, PhD, Illinois senior patrolman and firearms instructor Rich Portwood, and veteran Sergeant Duncan Stewart, as they analyze what happens in this incident. In this crime scene, a shoplifter is seen taking items and running from a store. An undercover officer chases the shoplifter and tackles her, at which time she screams, “Rape!” Passersby read the scene much differently than it occurred.

In addition to recognition from the Silver Telly Council, the judging panel that selects the Telly Awards winners, the Internet community helps decide the People’s Telly Awards winners.

ATSN: Stop the Threat’s accomplishment illustrates their creativity, skill, and dedication to their craft and serves as a testament to great film and video production.”

“We are very grateful to the Telly Awards organization for selecting us for our 8th consecutive award. I would like to thank everyone in the crew for their hard work and dedication. Season after season we strive to produce a show that not only educates but mentally prepares gun owners for the most critical decision they will ever have to make, the Draw or Retreat decision. Our success is a result of due diligence and challenging preparation. We rely heavily on our guests to bring their experience to the table each week affording them a unique opportunity to reach outside law enforcement and deep into the gun community with their counsel. Lastly, I would like to thank our viewers who are very much a part of this award process and who without their help, without their emails, without their social media contact, we would not have achieved this year’s award. Thank you very much.”
– Executive Producer and Host, James B. Towle
